So the party left Daggerford, headed for Waterdeep, with covered wagon, horses, a tiger, a winter wolf, and a war camel. The entrance to Waterdeep was hustling and bustling. They were stopped only for a moment by an old elf warning of the end of the world or some such apocalypse.
The group split with the agreement to meet at the Blushing Mermaid at Sunset. Ally, the gnome, and Elrick, the alchemist-barbarian, headed directly to the Mermaid, getting a luxurious room to share. Ally got a bath while Elrick went to the public bathing pool.
Marlowe and Don "The Magnificent" went elsewhere together, with Marlowe agreeing to act as a guide for additional free-flowing coin. Don wanted first to change his appearance. The local aptohecary supplied a potion to darken his hair and grow a rich beard. It was a bit much, so the barber next door straightened it up for him. Talking to the barber, Don tired to track down a lead on his hidden Cthulian religion in Waterdeep. He got a lead on a bar on the Docks.
Zirul, Corrail, and Felix want to the docks. Corrail contemplated old things that had happened to him there before looking for a place to buy some stuff. The three went into the Warehouse of a local fence. Undeterred by the row and heads mounted above the counter, the crew presented their lists of items. After a brief exchange on cost and delivery time, the owner asked them to leave with no goods. Felix drooled a bit over robbing the place, but Corrail informed him that it was guarded by margoyles and a ghost known for killing would-be robbers.
Don and Marlowe went on to the sailor's bar looking for information. Marlowe knew the place, the contacts, and for a small fee, worked his magic. The word was that the Black Well Court held what Don was looking for, but not to be there for a week. Things were busy.
Zirul, Corrail, and Felix went on to another store nearby... the Xoblob Shop, an adventurers items and trinket store. There they found many of the wondrous items they were looking for, at reasonable prices. Some items would have to wait for another store.
Don and Marlowe went back to the Mermaid.
Zirul, Corrail, and Felix went through another Alley in the Trades Ward. After a brief incident between Felix and a better pickpocket that left Felix embarrassed the crew found the additional items they wanted. Corrail went to his Father's place, only to find he had moved. The butcher nearby gave him his father's new address, but it was too late to visit. They went to the Mermaid, as well.
The group got all checked into the Mermaid. Don poured on his charm, attracting the attention of the lovely proprietress. With his charms, he got a better room and an invitation to private dinner with the beautiful women.
While the group supped in the main dining area, and Corrail and the animals waited outside, Don was lead up to a rooftop garden where a lovely dinner awaited him. He pulled out her chair and engaged in charming conversation, until just after the second course, when he got dizzy and passed out.
Luckily Zirul and Felix got worried and were looking for him. Zirul ventured below while Felix found Don having the charisma sucked out of him by the lovely lady succubus. Felix called for the rest of the party while two guardian succubi watched him closely.
Slowly the group appeared. Succubi took control of the tiger and Felix, sending them away. The raging alchemist appeared but got similar treatment. Others rolled in to attack. The succubi were immune to many forms of attacks and it took considerable time to take down the first.
Felix and the raging Elrick climbed an adjacent building. Felix fired off shots. Elrick then picked up Felix and hurled him across to the other building. Ally fired off entangle, trying to hold Felix in place so he could fight. Felix made the reflex save and started leaving again. Meanwhile the whole area was entangled, messing with the others' attacks. The succubi were still draining Don.
Elrick threw a firebomb over, doing no damage to the fire immune succubi, but damaging his group and awakening Don from his deep sleep. Just then, Marlowe appeared, sweeping across the roof and sweeping Don off the roof into a wagon of straw. Don summoned giant ants to the rooftop. The remaining two succubi fled. The group was then politely asked to leave the Mermaid.
The countdown clock (from 100) had reached 42 by the end of the session.
